Ostrich neck Casserole

Ostrich, firstly, is actually a very tasty meat. It tastes somewhat like chicken...lol! Ok, it doesn't taste like chicken, but I couldn't resist the temptation. It is a very lean meat, possibly more lean than beef (therefore a fairly good alternative for those on some form of low cholesterol diet).And lastly, and most importantly, this cut of meat is an inexpensive alternative to the more luxurious ox tail that we seem to reserve for graduations and wedding rehearsals.

Ostrich neck is definitely not something that we can easily find here, I think that we probably can't get it at all. That's why it makes this recipe sound even more interesting to us, ostrich meat should be very lean, and this recipe certainly sounds like a flavorful dish!
